2.6.1 - simple division

[farsight at gmail.com]

Thanks all, that's very helpful, sorry to waste your time with a
common question. I have tried the decimal module and will definitely
keep using it if I need to do this kind of calculation again.

I have 1 more question that the floating point article that was linked
didn't really answer:

 >>> x = 0.8
 >>> x
 0.800000000000004
 >>> x * 5
 4.0

Shouldn't I be expecting something like 4.0000000000002 ?
